going to work for av weekends nice i always clould do with a few extra points
maybe u did not read the 5.2 patch notes so capping from 1800-2200 is going to be a lot easyer if your like me and can only get 500 of the 1800 to win.Quote:

I would still like them to give incentives to have 5v5. Bracket is dead.
Deeeeeeeeeaaaaaadddddd!
All good changes.
Kills off boosting for the most part(points). I am calling it now, with the team rating inflation people will start to use " you only got that rating by spam queuing all season."
I could see them removing 5v5.
Does that extra 1k cap per week you have missed out kicks in right away or only after a set amount of weeks?
e.g. you missed out on the first week, so in week 2 you can get your 1800 points + 1k extra from week 1?

I get the sense 5.2 will drop with a new season, hence no need for the catchup; 5.3 would be mid-season and implement the catch-up which is when you'd need it.
The catch up formula looks like it'll be an extra 1000 points cap per week you missed. If by 5.3 you haven't earned a single conquest point you should be getting a pretty high cap that day.
Seems like it would still make more sense to have that part of 5.2, for example if you were on holiday or didn't play the first 3 weeks or so of season 13 you could catch up, but if those notes are what goes live you may be waiting 8+ weeks for the big catchup.
The catch up won't be as good as getting your cap each week.
At least, as they've described so far.
If your rating isn't terribly high, you might have a weekly cap of 1,800 points.
If after 10 weeks of PvP, you cap each week, you will have around 18,000 points.
Your cap for week 11 will be 1,800 points as well.
A new player who hasn't done PvP this season has a cap of 1,800 (the same as the player with a lower rating).
And since the player hasn't earnt points for the preceding 10 weeks, they'll have an extra 10,000 points available.
So their cap is 11,800.
If they get 3,500 points in the week.
The player who has been PvPing steadily, has 19,800 points and a cap of 1,800 for week 12.
The player who is catching up, has 3,500 points and a week 12 cap of (1,800 + [11,000 - 3,500 = 7,500] = 9,300 points.
The regular PvP guy could have 21,600 by the end of week 12; the newer player could have 12,800 points at the end of week 12.
The new system definitely helps a player who is catching up, do just that.
But they're not on the same footing as the player who has played throughout.

that's saying a 1800 cap if they don't change it. and getting into RBG are going to be a lot easier now u get points for losing to get from 1800-2200
then if you read it goes of conquest points got to date so getting a few week does not matter.
(Current week of the season) * 1000 – (Conquest earned thus far this season)
so as a test this is was i got this season (ok this is start to now) as i did not know my cap in 5.1) still a good test
we are on week 13 * 1000 = 13000 < (new player would get) - 5730 (mine to date) = 7270 Would be my catch up conquest. if they did this in patch 5.1 this week (THIS IS A TEST ONLY)
EG 2:
capped points every week since the start of mop @ 1800
1800 * 13 = 23400
13*1000 = 13000 - 23400 = -10400
this would give me no points for catch up as i got 10400 more then i would get not using the system so i would be out of pocket.
EG 3:
capped every week with RBG 2200 cap
2200 * 13 = 28600
13*1000 = 13000 - 28600 = -15600 i got a extra 15600 points over the cap.
EG 4: (only capping points on av-ioc CTA) the cool one for boxers!
15-22 OCT av-ioc
9-12 Nov Ioc
4-6 Dec Av
25-31 dec Av-ioc
18-21 Jan Ioc
So that's 5 weeks (you can get a few more as there is some mid weeks but am keeping it as simple as i can)
1800*5 9000
13000 - 9000 = 4000 (you would get extra) and they stay on you until you use them all up. Next few av weekends. ten boxers will love this as all the ones i talk to say they always would love the points to carry on as they win them games a lot and always go over cap.
